FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Supergroup ARMALITE Drops First Punk Anthem of the Obama Era
Philadelphia--Known for their industrious work schedule and prolific output, punk supergroup ARMALITE may well go down in history for recording and releasing the first punk protest song of the Barak Obama presidency.
Written and recorded by ARMALITE (http://www.myspace.com/armalite" target="_blank">www. myspace. com/armalite), the song is titled: "The Honeymoon is Over," and was written and recorded between 1:23 and 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20.
"'Honeymoon' deals specifically with our profound sense of disillusionment we've experienced in the minutes and seconds since the swearing in of our new president," says the group's most popular guitarist-vocalist, Mike McKee. "At first, around 1:00 in the afternoon, I think we--like most of America--were welcoming Obama as some kind of relief from the dark days of the Bush era. But, I think we speak for a large group of people with the message of this song. Camelot is over, and we're left holding the bag. Where are the results? What's happened to all those grand campaign-trail promises?"
Currently the song is available exclusively online, although there is talk about a special limited edition vinyl release to accompany the next live ARMALITE performance (date TBA).

***NOTE***: Since this press release was written, we've been plagued by trouble with the link (coincidence?).
Apparently the content of our new track is too controversial, and we keep getting slapped with Terms of Service Violations from MegaUpload, Sendspace and ZFile--who, it turns out, are all owned by the same company that helped fund a Democratic Primary thinktank for this election!!
Rest assured, we are working on the problem and will be refreshing and re-uploading the track to different links throughout the week. Just keep checking in!
PRESS: We can send out special hi-fidelity versions digitally, but can only service a limited amount of publications/websites each day. Already the requests are almost too much for us to handle.
Please direct your questions and interview requests to Michael Arnold at 1994 Promotions, x1994x@cheap-art.com.
